Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains underrecognized by patients and clinicians in the primary care setting, largely due to its asymptomatic presentation in early stages. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have demonstrated kidney-protective effects in clinical trials-including in patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D)-and there are several proposed mechanisms for these benefits. Dapagliflozin and canagliflozin are SGLT2 inhibitors with indications for CKD, and only dapagliflozin is indicated for CKD in patients without T2D. Clinically relevant adverse events associated with SGLT-2 inhibitors include volume depletion, diabetic ketoacidosis, and genital mycotic infections.
